Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The multicast/igmp snooping code in the linux bridge is throughly broken:

1. If a program binds to a v4 multicast group a v6 entry is created in the 
bridge mdb instead
2. As a result multicast appears to be flooded instead of limited to the ports 
for which there is a known igmp join.

The end result is that it sort-a works, but is not anywhere near correct or 
performing.
